    I personally enjoy calidus. Yes his chest is dumb but he is solid. A buddy of mine owns hot flame and hes not bad either.

    Has anyone else had this problem?
    I was transforming my one into Apex armor mode when the Heel/Toe (the part of the apex mode foot that forms the basic powermaster's heel with the two front wheels on trailer mode) snapped off. does anyone have any advice, our plan is to glue the part back on, sacrificing possibility. Like can we get replacement parts or is my plan right?

    Go back and read the last 10 pages. Missing parts, broken parts, sloppy assembly, loose joints, tight joints. Was due to CNY rush in the factory, however maketoys is a fantastic company that will provide replacement parts.

    I got some shock oil for those parts; the joints were way too tight out of the box. A little bit of lubrication really helped and they no longer make that terrifying squeaking noise when rotated. Contact MakeToys, they should be able to get you a replacement.

    Wow. So is there any parts need to be extra aware of? Like more easier to break.

    This one. So yes, you'll have 2 armors for the same figure. I really don't want this armor, so I am hoping that MT will release a separate set with just the base Thunder Manus plus the Divine Shooter.

    Ok. In this case I won’t go with Taobao due to the breakage. But who do you guys think has this guy the cheapest? Show Z maybe not. Hmm

    I have Erebus so I never got this guy, from what I understand from posts the few things actually breaking with use were the heal clips for attaching the armor and some people had the forward/backward hip ratchets break. Not sure how common those two problems actually are though. General consensus is he is a great figure.
